The problem is worst when no reference answer is available. This paper presents Eval-Instruct, a pipeline for building more informative training data for critique generation. ## All works 10 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Defending Large Language Models Against Jailbreaking Attacks Through Goal Prioritization](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2024-defending-large-language-models-against/) [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/)**Zhexin Zhang, Junxiao Yang, Pei Ke, et al.*2024 · 112 citations* 2. **[Black-Box Prompt Optimization: Aligning Large Language Models without Model Training](https://aclanthology.org/2024.acl-long.176/) Proceedings of the 62nd Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (Volume 1: Long Papers) · original ↗ · no summary yet**Jiale Cheng et al.*2024 · 70 citations* 3.
